My name is Erich. I am new to the writing scene for MTG. I enjoying playing fun formats such as EDH/Commander, Modern, and anything involved with Chaos drafting.

With that being said, I can’t overlook sheer power either, so I’ll …

Hey folks, thank you for joining me on my second installment of adding Reserved List Cards to our EDH collection.
